We never really got the "ghost-riding" craze the kiddies seemed so excited about a while back. However, we're much more amused by this fella ghost-donuting his car. Now that takes skill (and a trusting crowd).

Grandma and Grandpa Go Ghost Riding, Ghost Riding Officially No Longer Cool

We knew ghost riding was definitely on the downward trend after being all the rage with rappers and military convoys for going on two years now. But, after seeing this video of Gran and Gramps gettin' jiggy with their Scion, we know it wasn't yet dead. Now it is. However, we find it amusing and sad that these two have better moves than any of the Jalopnik staff — even at Wert's mythical weekend wedding. (Thanks for the tip Richard) [Youtube]

Ghost-Riding The Whip, Iraq Edition

It's got to be tough living in the middle of a war zone, in a strange country, under constant stress. So it's understandable when troops blow off a little steam by being goofy. For example, ghost-riding Humvees and MRAP's. Yep, the craze that started with a yellow short bus and later saw bored suburban kids crashing cars into all manner of whatnot has reached the sands of Iraq. We briefly considered ghost riding the MRAP when we did the ride along, but we decided that climbing up and down the ladder would have overtaxed even our sculpted blogger's physique.

Ghost-Drifting The BMW?

We have no words — only questions. Like — how's he accelerating? Why is he jumping into the engine bay — is it just to keep himself from sliding off, or does he not want to ruin the finish? So many questions. So few answers. – Ray Wert
